| Obverse description | Intricate ribbon-like interlaced ornamentation enclosing four stylized towers, likely representing a walled enclosure or city wall ring. A schematic head or bust appears at the center of the design. The entire motif is framed by a beaded circle, beyond which runs a deceptive pseudo-inscription border imitating a legend but bearing no legible text. |

| Reverse description | A standing armed figure, interpreted as Hercules or a warrior, depicted in combat with a bear, identified in the numismatic literature as an allusion to the Labors of Hercules (Nemean Lion iconography). The figure holds a shield and sword in a dynamic fighting pose. A tree is present in the left field, serving as a compositional element. The design is encircled by a beaded and lined border with a deceptive pseudo-inscription surround. |
